Soccer Referees Needed! Do you want to become a referee?

Become a Referee

Youth soccer needs you to participate in a manner you may never have thought about before. The youth game has continued to grow exponentially, but the number of referees remains stagnant at best. Each year, nationwide, 30-40% of soccer referees don’t return. Here in Ohio South the same is true. The game needs you to step forward and help. It doesn’t need to be full-time, whatever little time that you can contribute on your schedule will be helpful.

Reasons to Become a Soccer Referee:

It’s a great way to contribute both to the sport and to the players.

It’s an excellent opportunity to get some physical exercise and improve your overall level of fitness.

It can be an opportunity for some of you to give back to the game, as well as also allowing you to stay involved in the game.

It’s your chance to show that you can do a better job of officiating than what you’ve seen.

It can be a challenging hobby that will improve you both physically and mentally.

It’s an opportunity to just simply better understand the game of soccer itself.

It’s a chance to network, meet new friends and enjoy the camaraderie of a fraternity of soccer individuals having the same interests and passions.

It’s a good source of additional income or just some pocket cash.
